Abstract: Glaciers harbour diverse microbes and autotrophic microbes play a key role in sustaining the glacial ecosystems by providing organic carbon. The succession of glacier-originated autotrophic microbes and their effects on downstream aquatic ecosystems remain unknown.… read more here.

Abstract: A number of prokaryotes are capable of employing arsenic oxy-anions as either electron acceptors [arsenate; As(V)] or electron donors [arsenite; As(III)] to sustain arsenic-dependent growth ('arsenotrophy'). A subset of these microorganisms function as either chemoautotrophs… read more here.
